A blast of cold, high pressure air, moving off the Texas coast later today, will push it into the NW Caribbean Sea tonight. Scattered and intermittent showers are possible; along, ahead and behind the front. By Saturday, it will extend from E. Cuba to NE Honduras. It will continue to slowly drift SE and dissipate on Sunday.
